Abstract
A total of 130 Zoró Indians from the Brazilian Amazon were observed as part of an epidemiological survey. Black piedra was found in 74 (56.9%) individuals. Infection rates between the sexes were not significantly different. The age group least infected comprised the children, 0–10 years of age. The authors comment on the epidemiology of the infection among the Zoró.Keywords
